--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian4python Version: 0.28.4 Severity: normal Hi, The upcoming version of Lintian will deprecate "debfiles" (both the collection and the "$info->debfiles" method provided by Lintian::Collect::Source). You can find a list of possibly affected files in [1]. You can reading more about the rationale behind the deprecation in [2]. *When* 2.5.28 is released, please apply the following changes to your lintian checks: * All method that previously (in)directly required the "debfiles" collection will now require "unpacked" instead. Please update the "Needs-Info" accordingly. * Usage of the "debfiles" method is generally replaced by either "index" or "index_resolved_path" and the extended API of Lintian::Path. - Most of the API is currently only available in the Lintian git repository and will first be made available in version 2.5.28. Future deprecations: * The "unpacked" and "control" methods from Lintian::Collect-classes is also scheduled for deprecation. Though, it may be deferred to after Lintian/2.5.28. Example (old code): use strict; use warnings; use autodie; use Lintian::Util qw(is_ancestor_of); my $file = ...; my $droot = $info->debfiles my $dfile = $info->debfiles($file); if ( -f $dfile and is_ancestor_of($droot, $dfile)) { open(my $fd, '<', $dfile); ...; close($fd); } Example replacement: use strict; use warnings; use autodie; my $file = ...; my $dfile = $info->index_resolved_path("debian/$file"); if ($dfile and $dfile->is_open_ok) { my $fd = $dfile->open; ...; close($fd); } Other notable new API methods in Lintian::Path for accessing the file contents: * file_contents (slurp the file, check with is_open_ok) * fs_path (path to the underlying file, check with is_open_ok before opening it or passing to a method or an external tool) ~Niels [1]: >From lintian4python_0.28.4_all.deb: .../checks/python/depends.desc:Needs-Info: debfiles .../checks/python/helpers.pm: if (-e $info->debfiles('pyversions')) { .../checks/python/helpers.pm: if (-e $info->debfiles('pycompat')) { .../checks/python/helpers.pm: my $rules = $info->debfiles('rules'); ...checks/python/helpers.pm: my $droot = $info->debfiles; .../checks/python/helpers.desc:Needs-Info: changelog-file, bin-pkg-control, debfiles, unpacked .../checks/python/watch.desc:Needs-Info: debfiles .../checks/python/watch.pm: my $wfile = $info->debfiles('watch'); [2] http://nthykier.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/lintian-upcoming-api-making-it-easier-to-write-correct-and-safe-code/
